Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Mrs. Obiageli Ezekwesili, a former Nigerian minister, as an ambassador of ‘Grain from Ukraine.’

Andriy Yermak, Head of the President’s Office of Ukraine, announced that Ezekwesili and her colleagues are joining international experts and leaders to support the initiative. More than 30 donor countries have signed on since the initiative’s inception in November 2022.
In addition, Yermak said, “We see the prospect of expanding the project. To do this, we need reliable partners with knowledge and extensive connections.
Following this development, Ezekwesili, on her Facebook page (Oby Ezekwesili), gave a reaction over her new appointment where she wrote, “I am delighted to accept the invitation of President @Zelenskyy to be one of 3 leading African experts recently named as Ambassadors of the “Grain from Ukraine” initiative. “Glad to be joining @DrJoyceBanda and @ChrisFomunyoh on this crucial program to stem food insecurity.”
